Game Notes: Steelers 16, Saints 10

By Ryan George · Sunday, October 25, 2026 · Stade de France, Paris

Ryan's running notes from Paris, first snap to final whistle. Final: Steelers 16, Saints 10.

It doesn't look like the Saints want to deal with Warren.
Feels like they did the Saints a favor getting in shotgun in the red zone.
Quick game is killing us.
Special teams can't play one clean week. Stupid hold on a placement punt.
1st quarter summary: Staying ahead of the chains, controlling TOP.
Watt with a ridiculous play shooting to the inside and attacking the ball... which was a fumble by the way. You can't have the call on the field a fumble and then say there was conclusive evidence Shough had control.
DK with a hell of a catch. His best as a Steeler perhaps.
This special teams is... something.
For a team that can't run the ball, the Saints are sure passing easily.
Good goal-line stand rendered moot with a New Orleans touchdown. Feels like they're picking on Ramsey in coverage.
2 personal fouls... gotta clean that up. Potentially points taken off the board on both drives.
2nd quarter summary: Good to go into the half with the lead but they had the opportunity for more.

Wilson with the 3rd personal foul. Can't fault him there. Let them play.
Is Highsmith playing? Too many games this year where you don't hear his name.
The coverage is too soft... and just when I type this a FANTASTIC play by Wilson.
Veteran first down on 3rd and long from Rodgers with a lightning pass to Freiermuth. Laces be damned.
This offense's identity seems to be forming: death by 1000 cuts and maybe a bazooka every now and again, but settle for a field goal. Steelers 16 – Saints 10.
Big 3rd down stop here. Seems the trend in the league now is taking a book out of Flores' defense with mug looks on 3rd down.
Miss by Carlson... points on the next drive may just do it.
Awful drive capped off with Fautanu getting beat again....
Queen with the sack! I love these exotic fronts on 3rd down. Really tough to block up and puts the focus on protection rather than exotic routes.
Big scramble from Rodgers on 3rd down to take it to the two minute warning. I thought for sure he was going to take another one of those untimely sacks.
And with a Saints penalty, that's game. Steelers 16, Saints 10.
